Knit Picks (http://www.knitpicks.com/) have finally released a solid color wool sock yarn (http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/yarn_display.aspx?itemid=5420133), Essential! They don't have many colors yet, but the ones they have are very fall. I like it! They donated some of it to the sockknitters group for this month's drawing and the word from sockknitters is that it's pretty nice.

They also released another patterned sock yarn line, Parade (http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/yarn_display.aspx?itemid=5420135).

I don't see any other new lines, though I think they are releasing other new non-sock yarns. :)

Enjoy!

I'm placing my order now. :blush

I must stop buying fibery things! But since I'm ordering some books from them (they have the best price for new) I threw in $12 of sock yarn too (4 balls of essential). :kick

Their shipping facility is in OH, so standard shipping usually takes 5-14 days... I've had it take 15 days and I've had it take 4 (my other orders I paid extra for 3 day shipping).

When did you place the order?
